Unit 5: Building the Story 5-2 “Filling the Gaps in Your Research”

Setting the Stage Job of a journalist is… How does it all start? To provide the people w/ unbiased information They use to make decisions about their lives How does it all start? Editor gives you your topic and length in word count or inches Can’t be short Can’t be long Your first step… Find out everything you can! How? Research Where and with what? Found out everything you could, but… Still have holes in your knowledge base What do you do?!?

Find Yourself an Expert! You have holes! Even if your research tells you everything… Internet and research can’t tell you things like what it feels like 1st- hand Have to find an expert to answer last few questions you have about the topic They will fill the holes in your knowledge base

1st Step- Choose Who You want to Interview Think about who you would want to interview Needs to be… People who can fill the gaps and answer the questions you still have about your topic Keep in mind… The person you interview will dictate the perspective of your article Choose a person that will help give to article the direction you want

2nd Step- Contacting that Person Be Polite! Remember… they’re doing you a favor! Please’s and Thank You’s are a must! Face-to-Face is best to ask, but FORMAL e-mails and letters are acceptable Explain what you are looking for and what you would like to discuss Ask THEM what would be a good date and time Work with them on availability Options for the Interview Best- In-Person Okay- Skype® or Facetime® Last- Resort- Phone

3rd Step- GOOGLE them! Never go into an interview blind! Find out as much as you can about the person- These details will come in handy during the conversation Details about… Their lives, experiences, family, background will make this not an interview, but a conversation This will help the person relax and share more

4th Step- Know Your Questions The point of the interview is to find out the answers to the questions you still have… The gaps in your knowledge! Know what they are Make sure you nail down an answer before you allow the interview to end Have these questions written down Have them with you! Absolutely zero “yes or no” questions!

5th Step- Come Prepared Bring your questions Bring a notebook Bring several pens or pencils Better to have in case! Bring a recording device Always ask if the person minds being recorded Be specific whether it’s voice or video when you ask Tape Recorder Digital Recorder Video Camera The Voice Memo app on your phone will work in a pinch!

6th Step- Arrival Be Early… not On Time! Know the location Arrive with plenty of time to spare in case… Traffic Get Lost Blown tire Apocalypse Etc. Always better to be early than late Know the location Make sure this is an environment that will be good for an interview If you have never been to the location Don’t show up blind Visit the location ahead of time to scout it out 6th Step- Arrival

7th Step- The Interview Itself Conduct your interview in a timely manner. During the Interview: Be Courteous! Let the interview take its natural course. Seek 1st to Understand, THEN to Be Understood Listen carefully to the answers not just waiting for your turn to ask another question Each answer could lead to more questions or include an answer to a question you haven’t asked yet. Use the details you learned when you Google’d them to guide your conversation Use their answers to lead them to the questions you want to ask!

7th Step- The Interview Itself (Con’t) Conduct your interview in a timely manner. During the Interview: Always take time to ask for an explanation of things you don’t understand. Can you tell me more? Can you expand on that? Can you explain your thought process on that? Don’t be afraid of silences and pauses. Take notes on what the person looked like, what they were wearing, where they sat, what objects surrounded them. This can hold clues to their personalities. Ask about objects that interest you. Excellent details to create Most Importantly… Don’t read through your questions one right after another like you can’t wait to be finished. Conduct the interview like a conversation.

7th Step- The Interview Itself (Con’t) Even if you are recording the interview… Take notes during the interview. Don’t even try to write every word said (long- hand) Only slows down the interview Jot down just the highlights Jot down just the details

8th Step- After the Interview Thank them for their time! While the details are still fresh in your mind… Write everything down you can remember about the person / interview after Follow up on things you learned in your interview with… More research! Review your research and your interview notes Circle or highlight quotations that you think will be good for your article Now you’re ready to begin writing!
